Heymarket
Having a shared inbox is crucial for us, we cover 7 days a week from a PST-EST time zone so the whole team always needs to have visibility on conversations at all times. We also enjoy the fact that most functions of Heymarket are simple to use and don't require us to loop in tech help

SimpleTexting
SimpleTexting has been wonderful for the purposes for which we signed up. We wanted an easy-to-use platform that allowed 2-way texting, assigned a phone number, had the ability to collect phone numbers/contact easily (whether through an import or a user sign-up, spoiler SimpleTexting has both), etc. It has provided all of that and more easily, without a contract. And the platform is so easy to use for our team. One of the only issues we're having is wanting to expand our use of SimpleTexting, and using multiple options for texting (i.e., shortcode, toll-free, landline/business enabling) has been difficult on one account.

SimpleTexting
  • SimpleTexting provides excellent value based on their messaging packages but also by allowing its customers to utilize multiple keywords. This is helpful for our organization because we utilize this software across many different departments.
  • SimpleTexting analytics and reporting is a key strength of the software. The numbers they report weigh heavily on what we determine as a success of un-successful communication campaign.
  • SImpleTexting has excellent customer service available at the click of a button. Their team has always been available and offered solutions when we have had questions or run into a problem.

SimpleTexting
  • A lot of glitches and bugs, with promised fixes that keep dragging on for some time.
  • Mobile notifications are very buggy. You have to keep force-closing the app and re-opening it multiple times to get the notifications to refresh.
  • Constant toggling of 'Unread' and 'All' on mobile or desktop to get the notifications to clear and show up as opened, otherwise it will imply it's not read.
  • Also, sometimes new notifications don't show up.

Usability
Heymarket
In my opinion, Heymarket is easy to use and has a nice, clean interface (much nicer than JustCall). The customization is nice and it is easy to create templates, schedule messages, send messages through API, etc. I cannot give it a 10 because, in my opinion, the mobile app is not very good, you cannot close API messages manually, and the Customer Service team lacks the ability to help without contacting management.

With SimpleTexting updating little things here and there almost daily. We reach out to their support team constantly. They have one of the best response rates I have ever experienced! Normally it takes less than a minute to speak to a real person, but even if they are busy they have an answer bot send you articles to see if you can solve the issue yourself first! One of the best support teams ever

Heymarket
Heymarket was easier to use and has had less errors than OpenPhone. While they do share many similar features (shared inbox, tagging users, simple to use) Heymarket has been a solid solution for us. I only wish we could also use it to make phone calls along side text messages

SimpleTexting is just simple. From the pricing to the interface, it stacks up against the competition by just being as powerful and simple as possible. No extra distractions or confusion. For our company, we wanted texting software that we could easily upsell and integrate into our overall marketing campaigns and SimpleTexting did just that.

Return on Investment
Heymarket
  • Faster and more personalized responses, which improve customer experience.
  • Built-in opt-in/out management reduces the risk of non-compliance with regulations.
  • Inability to auto-close API messages results in a lot of lost time for CS as they have to manually close every message sent through API.
  • The cost, especially if we decide to send marketing messages, is rather high compared to other companies we have used.
